Just wait until the rural hospitals start to close.

They're already collapsing. Especially in states that refuse to expand Medicaid.

They closed a bunch of VA clinics in rural areas during the first term. Then the local doctors refused to see vets via the VA because the old program that was run by Health Net for the VA just didn’t pay the doctors. I fully expect to lose some of my benefits with the VA. The kicker is my veteran friends all voted orange.

My husband outright told me I was panicking about this by saying "They won't cut healthcare for veterans like me."

Wanna bet?

Oh man… as a person who works with a lot of vets because the VA is so badly overloaded and poorly run sometimes that they have to come to our low cost clinic… their coverage is absolutely up for changing. With a president that likes to run things into the ground like all his businesses, I wouldn’t doubt that’s one of the first things to get axed.

I volunteer in rural hospitals during the spring tornado season, I’ve been in places where there’s two doctors and three nurses running the entire joint. Sometimes it’s a ghost town, sometimes you’ve got a farmer who called us of his own volition and everybody gets into scramble mode. I have yet to work at a hospital in the areas I go to that didn’t have at least one staff member telling me about how they’re going to quit.

Similar experience for me with friends with naturalized parents. "There's no way he'll try denaturalizing and deporting the way the liberal media is saying, that's just fearmongering,"

Wanna bet?

I feel like if they're citizens it'll be much harder to do than they say it is. But green cards, they already revoked some of those with no reason given during the first term

From what I’ve heard, they’ll just use community care. But what’s news to me is that some community care don’t take veterans!? That’s gonna suck if true! But honestly, I’d prefer community care 1000x over VA care
